A pot experiment was conducted in fenugreek (Trigonella foenum graecum L.) during Rabi to evaluate the effect of different levels of residual sodium carbonate (RSC) water, zinc and vermicompost at SKN College of Agriculture, Jobner, Rajasthan. Four levels of RSC water (0, 2.5, 5.0 and 7.5 mmol L- 1), three levels of zinc (0, 10 and 20 mg ZnSO4 kg-1 soil) and two levels of vermicompost (0 and 1.25 g kg-1 soil) were taken up. Study revealed that yield attributes, yield of seed and straw, and zinc mobility ratios in seed and straw decreased significantly with increasing level of RSC water, while application of zinc and vermicompost significantly increased the yield attributes, seed yield and zinc mobility ratio in seed and straw.
